Therese Quinn is an assistant professor of art education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she directs an undergraduate teacher education program. She also works with the Multicultural Arts School, one of four new public high schools built to serve the Little Village/North Lawndale neighborhoods, and serves on the coordinating committee of the Chicago Teachers for Social Justice.
She is a co-editor of the book "Teaching for Social Justice: A Democracy and Education Reader."

Daniel Tucker is the editor of AREA Chicago - a biannual publication dedicated to researching and networking the art, education, and activist practices within the city of Chicago. AREA Chicago focuses on grassroots projects and has explored the themes of Privatization/Welfare Cuts, Local Food Systems, and social movements that connects local practice with the rest of the globe.

Additionally, AREA Chicago sponsors three related projects: “Infrastructure Lecture Series” dealing with organizational/sustainability issues of activist and
cultural groups and the “Peoples Atlas of Chicago: Sites of Relevance” mapping project which takes the form of workshops designed to create subjective and nontraditional maps of the city about different topics, and "AREA Books Imprint" - our most recent side project launching next year.
